The Merit Systems Protection Board completed the
first major rewrite of its regulations in more
than 30 years. Susan Grundmann, the MSPB
chairwoman, said the changes fall into four
categories. The board is giving its users six
weeks to transition to the new rules.

The name Merit System Protection Board (MSPB)is a misnomer. The truth is the MSPB only exists to protect the government, not the government employee. MSPB statistics tell the story. A Federal Employee that brings a complaint to the MSPB has a 1% or less chance of receiving a decision in their favor.
Abolish the MSPB and put MSPB funds into mediation, and arbitration efforts directed at avoiding formal litigation, not perpetuating it.
